New photos on wiki

I have posted a number of photos on the PBS wiki of Fritillaria species now
in flower here. See
http://ibiblio.org/pbs/pbswiki/files/Fritillaria/

Among them is one I have designated Fritillaria cf ferganensis. It is one
of the infamous Chinese-grown frits that were imported a few years ago, of
which I bought some from Paul Christian. Almost all the bulbs turned out to
be misnamed. So I need to figure out what this one is. The only information
I have on F. ferganensis is that it is somewhat similar to F. walujewii,
which this is, I think. Response appreciated from someone who has seen
certified specimens.

I also posted a photo of Narcissus alpestris, the subtly beautiful
"mourning daffodil."
